The Southeast Fairfax Development Corporation (“SFDC”) proudly partners with Fairfax County to secure highly competitive $400,000 federal grant in order to support transit oriented development (“TOD”) on Richmond Highway.

(Groveton, VA) On Tuesday, October 11, the Federal Transit Administration announced that Fairfax County is one of 16 recipients nationwide of its highly competitive 2016 Transit Oriented Development Planning Pilot Program grant. SFDC proudly served as Fairfax County’s critical partner in the grant application.

The $400,000 grant, which strongly emphasizes a partnership between a project sponsor (Fairfax County) and an entity with land-use planning authority (SFDC) as a qualifying factor, will support planning activities, such as engineering and analysis, surrounding the implementation of Bus Rapid Transit as part of Embark Richmond Highway.

According to Edythe Kelleher, Executive Director of SFDC, “Our Board acted quickly and decisively when the Fairfax County Department of Transportation approached us to serve as the grant partner at our Board of Directors meeting on May 18. We knew the importance of securing the grant, particularly to the planning initiatives already in progress.”
